Once again B.J. Daniels reminds her fans why she is a go to
crime
author -- no word is superfluous. In DEAD RINGER B.J. Daniels
weaves an intricate crime story complete with spot on
dialogue of
some really intriguing characters. DEAD RINGER never lets you
become complacent. Should always be prepared for an unexpected
twist that when thought through actually makes sense. So how
come
you didn't see that one coming. Book number two in this series is DEAD RINGER that began with
DARK HORSE and seems to give us the first sign on hope that at
least one of those kidnapped twins is alive and well and has
actually
come forth with a crucial piece of evidence of their identity. Travers McGraw is pretty much desperate for any new about his
missing son and daughter. They would now be twenty five year
old
adults and probably with lives of their own. The older McGraw children have had issues with their own
lives. It
has taken an enormous toll on each of the three older
brothers. The
fact that their mother has been institutionalized since the
twin's
disappearance leaves a gaping hole. Their father has
remarried the
twins' nanny Patricia who on many levels also bears
suspicion. So
it's no wonder that the brothers have been somewhat
reluctant to
move on with lives of their own. They have gathered all
their strength
and love around their father Travers and would move heaven and
earth to find those twins if at all feasible. Ledger McGraw has had to let his own love life hang by a
fragile
thread. His girlfriend Abby is now married. Her husband is
an angry
abusive man who happens to be a deputy sheriff. Not a good
combination. Abby firmly believes her husband needs her and
refuses to accept the fact that one of these days she will
suffer
injuries that might kill her. In the past few months it has
become
apparent that Abby can no longer hide her bruises. These
beatings
have landed her in the hospital and has captured the
attention of
several people most notably Ledger. Just what the McGraw family
needs. But there is no way Ledger can turn a blind eye on
what is
happening to the woman he has loved all these years. He stayed
apart with respect to her marriage but now the line has become
blurred. Abby's life is in danger. She needs an
intervention. The
McGraw's are an amazing close family who will willingly
close ranks
around Ledger's goals even though they are still trying to
come to
grips with the possibility that they may have finally found
at least one
of the missing twins. Could the young man be the missing son
Oakley? Can they trust his story even if he did provide a
crucial clue? Okay we're on the right track now. B.J. Daniels is hinting
that the
twins may indeed be alive after all these years. But proving
the
identity of those that come forth is a difficult task. In
DEAD RINGER
B.J. Daniels keeps reminding us that we must carefully check
out any
hints or clues regardless of how impelling they are. And
even if we do
finally figure out the fate of Oakley McGraw there is still
the matter of
his twin Jesse Rose. Whatever has happened to Jesse Rose? Stay
tuned for part three.
